Quite tempting for a bit of fun. I realise the battery lease is on top of this but still pretty cheap all things considered. I need to see if my 6 foot 4 frame can get comfy in one before taking the plunge.

They do look like a hoot but I wonder how quickly the novelty would wear off.

Looks like the (compulsory) battery lease is about £60 pcm, taking it to £75. Half the cost of a battery-included Zoe with more range, more equipment, more seats, more heating, more a/c, more safety, etc. Hmm…..
It remains the advertised price so long as you are happy to pay the GFV at the end, no? (or hand the car back).

I looked at the Zoe and I do like it but the Twizy is just so different. I often have crazy ideas though...such as trading an M135i in for an Abarth 595 lol

I would buy the doors, aftermarket windows and then enjoy pottering about with it over time and adding/changing things. I just wonder if I'd feel like an idiot driving it lol

I'm going to be calling these guys at lunch. It would suit the OH perfectly for her 3 mile commute, and at that cost, why the hell not!
How did you get on?

I believe the Renault 'windows' aren't the best and still leave a gap but there's another non-Renault supplier online who manufacture and supply a better version.

I would enjoy creating something like this...

...but no doubt Renaultsport has invested tens of thousands in it!

Tried to buy one as a toy but told they were "finding it difficult to locate stock". Promised a call before close of business last Friday (when the deal ends) and no return call.

Did anyone here manage to secure one?
Not exactly surprising in this day and age but it gets to me when they can't give you the courtesy of a simple telephone call.

Unbelievable - regardless of the deal, I wouldn't give them the custom after that!
